There has recently been a report of an outbreak of Hep A in Terengganu, Malaysia. If you are planning a trip to the region, please get yourself vaccinated with the Hep A vaccine. You will need two jabs over six months, but even after the first jab, you will get 85% protection by 2 weeks and 100% protection by 3 weeks.

Hep A is easily contracted through exposure to contaminated food and water and is highly recommended for visitors planning to travel to regions like South East Asia and South Asia.
